Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2301

Chapter 2301: Blessed Land

Eventually, Sunny emerged from the billowing smoke, streams of incandescent lava flowing down from the jade surface of his black armor. He shook it off his shoulder, then glanced at Kai.

"It’s done."

Sunny exhaled slowly.

"It seems like the Tyrant had been growing in the depths of the volcano for a long time. In the past, only its minions would have ventured to the surface, but with the growing population of Ravenheart, the scent of human souls must have attracted its attention. It’s a good thing that we dealt with the bastard before it shattered the roof of the magma chamber trying to climb up."

A Corrupted Tyrant was a powerful enemy for Kai, and it could still pose some danger to Sunny — but only if Sunny did not pay attention. Since Cassie had informed him of what powers the abominable creature wielded, he managed to kill it both swiftly and cleanly.

In fact, he had spent most of the time simply looking around the depths of the volcano, not battling the abomination.

There were plenty of interesting things to explore there.

Sunny considered his words for a moment.

"Initially, I was a little surprised that you did not follow me down, Nightingale. But once I dove into the lava, I understood... even with my Supreme constitution, staying alive down there was not easy. I was almost cooked alive. This is not a mundane volcano, is it?"

Kai slowly shook his head.

"No, it is not. My own constitution as a Dragonslayer grants me a great deal of resistance against various types of attacks, especially those based on fire... but even for me, the heat inside this volcano is too much."

He sighed.

"You must have seen the reports Lonesome Howl and her scouts brought. The lands west of Ravenheart are a frozen hell — the cold there is so absolute that even Saints cannot survive. But in fact, those lands had not always been frozen, and the theoretical ocean beyond them was not frozen either. The signs of fallen civilizations she discovered, encased in ice, are proof. More than that..."

Kai’s expression turned somber.

"The cold must have spread eastward slowly, considering the remains. And it is my belief that it would have continued to spread, eventually turning the entire Dream Realm into a frigid, frozen, dead world — if not for this mountain chain and its mystical volcanoes, which serve as a barrier against the slaying cold. It is because of them and the ash they expel that people can live in Ravenheart, the soil here is so fertile, and the eerie beings that dwell in the snow can’t cross over from the frozen wastelands."

He lingered for a moment and added with a faint smile:

"It is also my belief that these volcanoes had been created, or at least enhanced, by the Jade Palace and its Component. Well... in a way."

Sunny raised an eyebrow.
